| About the e-CFR | ||
| How can I view/print just a subpart? | Top |
| The best way to view or print an entire subpart and nothing but the subpart is to use the Search feature of the e-CFR. Go to the search portion of the e-CFR page and ask to retrieve a Subpart. In the square box, insert the number of the CFR title. In the first long rectangular box, give the part number, and ask it to retrieve within "Part No.". In the second search box, enter the letters of the Subpart heading and search within "Subpart ID". (If your subpart has no ID number (like "A", "B", or "GGG"), use the most or all of the subpart heading and select within "Subpart heading".) |
| You should get one result. Click the HTML button and you will be viewing the entire subpart at once. You can print by selecting "File" on your browser and "Print". If you want to download the file, select "File" and "Save As". You can choose from several formats, depending on the word processing software you want to use. |
| How can I view/print an entire part? | Top |
| There are two methods of retrieving an entire part. Within the browse feature, request the specific part, and you will find a table of contents that lists each section and appendix. Click on any section or appendix. When you retrieve the section or appendix, click the "View Part" link. This will retrieve the entire part. To print the part, click the "File" button on your browser, and "Print". |
| Within the search feature, indicate that you want to retrieve a Part. In the square box, insert the title number. In the rectangular box, type in the part number only, and select the search within "Part No." This will normally yield one result. Click the HTML button and the entire part opens. To download the file, click the "File" button on your browser, and "Print". |
| If you want to download the text, select "File" and "Save As". You can choose from several formats, depending on the word processing software you want to use. |
| There are some occasions where a part spans more than one CFR file, like 26 CFR part 1, 29 CFR part 1910, 40 CFR parts 52, 60, 63, and 86. In these cases, you will not be able to retrieve the entire part by itself. You will get part retrievals for each volume. |
| How can I save or download a section or appendix when I am in browse? | Top |
| If you are in Netscape, simply make sure you have clicked on the text portion of the screen, go to "File" and "Save As". |
| In Internet Explorer, begin at the table of contents listing with the links in frames. If you want to save an HTML version, you have two options. The first method is to right click on the section number. Choose "Save Target As" and a window will open allowing you to give a name to the file, but no option for the type of file. In the second method, right click on the section number and choose "Open in new window". Once the new window is open, you can select "File" and "Save As". You will have a choice of HTML or .txt. |
| Where is the [Reserved] material? | Top |
| "[Reserved]" is a term used as a place holder within the Code of Federal Regulations. An agency uses "[Reserved]" to simply indicate that it may insert regulatory information into this location some time in the future. Occasionally "[Reserved]" is used to indicate that a portion of the CFR was intentionally left empty and not accidentally dropped due to a printing or computer error. |
| Where are the subpart headings? | Top |
| You can view the subpart headings by retrieving the entire part and reading the table of contents. |
| We may add subpart headings in the browse feature in the future, as an enhancement. |
| Will you display the e-CFR in PDF? | Top |
| No, we do not plan to make the e-CFR available in PDF format. Because the database is continually changing, a PDF format is not practicable. |
| When will the e-CFR leave beta test mode? | Top |
| The e-CFR will be in beta test mode until at least Spring of 2002, if not longer. Much depends on testing results. |
| Once testing is finished, we anticipate removing the beta status. The e-CFR will not be legal until approved by the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register. |
| How long will the e-CFR be available? | Top |
| We do not forsee a time when the e-CFR will cease to exist. It is our intention to make this resource available for free, in perpetuity. |
